Stop Yelling & Start Weaving

“Stop Yelling and Start Weaving” Marketing Communicating in a Relationship Economy The Next Web Conference June 2007, Amsterdam Deborah Schultz www.deborahschultz.com

We are inherently social animals

Way way past Life was simple

Recent past – Tribe moves away

phone, email, god more email??!! No more email

Present The world is your oyster

The Flickrverse

The medium is the complex, light and diverse relationship

Your are connecting everywhere, anytime

But are these relationships “real”?

God, I hope so!

I Love My Online Friends!! And they trackback...

We live again in a relationship economy Transactions are the by-products of healthy relationships. The global economy is shifting from a mass media, consumer mass-marketing model to one that is far more emergent and decentralized. The involuntary loyalty of quot;stickyquot; services is falling victim to the far preferable voluntary loyalty won through responsiveness, quality, excellent service, reliability and trustworthiness. Sometimes, transactions don't matter. -Jerry Michalski

Everything old is new.....back to relating

Relationships are hard and messy and subtle

They come to your aid when you least expect em in weird and wonderful ways

Think of it as relationship bricolage “Bricolage is what tinkers do- collecting odd bits of stuff they think may be potentially useful, then using whatever bits seem to work in the context of some later repair job. Simple. And yet profound. Because the bits the bricoleur ends up using were not designed for the use they end up being put to”. Chris Locke

You never know which of your online contacts can impact you when and how

Sadly most organizations are silos and transaction driven

We are organic and social
